If it matches an address in the DB then it assigns the author accordingly.</p> <p>I have been trying this but with no success ...</p> <p>- A radio button field ("New User" or "Returning User") which triggers some conditional fields<br /> - If New User, then show User Registration designated email field<br /> - If Returning User, then show standard email field. But how can I assign this field as the post author? </p>
